Justin Herbert trade rumors are growing louder as the Los Angeles Chargers continue to lose, but Adam Schefter reminded everyone why moving on from their franchise quarterback is highly unlikely.

Schefter recently shared a story about speaking with an NFL executive regarding Herbert, who has suddenly become the subject of trade speculation amid the Chargers’ disastrous 0-5 start. The conversation reportedly ended before Schefter could even finish his sentence, underscoring how quickly the idea of Los Angeles trading Herbert was dismissed.

While other have debated whether Justin Herbert should be traded, the Chargers have not.
